I'll be honest, I'm not entirely sure what the impact is. I get lost in the features maze. It is nicely encapsulated, but hard to navigate for the none initiated :-) Thanks -- Qais Yousef > + > + if (scope == SCOPE_SYSTEM) > + pr_info("detected: 32-bit EL0 Support\n"); > + > + return true; > +} > + > static bool has_useable_gicv3_cpuif(const struct arm64_cpu_capabilities *entry, int scope) > { > bool has_sre; > @@ -1803,10 +1890,9 @@ static const struct arm64_cpu_capabilities arm64_features[] = { > }, > #endif /* CONFIG_ARM64_VHE */ > { > - .desc = "32-bit EL0 Support", > - .capability = ARM64_HAS_32BIT_EL0, > + .capability = ARM64_HAS_32BIT_EL0_DO_NOT_USE, > .type = ARM64_CPUCAP_SYSTEM_FEATURE, > - .matches = has_cpuid_feature, > + .matches = has_32bit_el0, > .sys_reg = SYS_ID_AA64PFR0_EL1, > .sign = FTR_UNSIGNED, > .field_pos = ID_AA64PFR0_EL0_SHIFT, > @@ -2299,7 +2385,7 @@ static const struct arm64_cpu_capabilities compat_elf_hwcaps[] = { > {}, > };
